Acts:25:1-12
gltv@Acts:25:1 @ Then entering the province, after three days Festus went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.
gltv@Acts:25:2 @ And the high priest and the chief of the Jews made a statement before him against Paul, and they begged him,
gltv@Acts:25:3 @ asking a favor against him, so as he might send for him to Jerusalem, making a plot to kill him on the way.
gltv@Acts:25:4 @ Then indeed Festus answered that Paul should be kept at Caesarea, he himself even being about to go shortly.
gltv@Acts:25:5 @ Then he said, those having power among you may go down with me. If there is a thing amiss in this man, let them accuse him.
gltv@Acts:25:6 @ And remaining among them more than ten days, going down to Caesarea, on the morrow sitting on the tribunal, he ordered Paul to be brought.
gltv@Acts:25:7 @ And he having arrived, the Jews coming down from Jerusalem stood around, also bringing many weighty charges against Paul, which they were not able to prove.
gltv@Acts:25:8 @ Defending himself, Paul said, Neither against the Law of the Jews, nor against the temple, nor against Caesar have I sinned in anything.
gltv@Acts:25:9 @ But desiring to show a favor to the Jews, answering Paul, Festus said, Do you desire to go up to Jerusalem to be judged before me there about these things?
gltv@Acts:25:10 @ But Paul said, I am standing before the tribunal of Caesar where I ought to be judged. I did nothing to the Jews, as also you very well know.
gltv@Acts:25:11 @ For if I indeed do wrong and have done anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die. But if there is nothing of which they accuse me, no one can give me up to them. I appeal to Caesar.
gltv@Acts:25:12 @ Then conferring with the sanhedrin, Festus answered, You have appealed to Caesar; you shall go before Caesar.
